- Having some sort of way to start a fire in wet conditions is very important in any type of survival situation.

My Review on the Zippo Typhoon Match Kit: • Zippo Typhoon Match Ki...
Replace the small cotton piece with a cotton ball. And, UCO makes a bigger match called the Titan. Put the striker inside the case, strike face away from the matches, until you’re ready to use it. One match broke, that doesn’t mean it’s junk.
I'll definitely have to try out their Titan match. I was impressed with how well they worked and it was kinda my fault that match broke cause of how I was holding it. They just had an unfair advantage because of the Zippo matches I reviewed first. But overall I really like UCO products.
I really appreciate your feedback and I will be doing what you recommended. Thank you for checking out the video and giving my channel an opportunity.
The cotton is tinder, not just protection for the matches.
Agreed, use a cotton ball or some dryer lint that can be used for kindling.
I think the cotton is there as tinder. Take one of the spare strips and stick it on the inside of the cap,voila a protected striking surface. Of course put something inbetween the cap and the matches. More cotton fire starter would work great. 🤗😉🤗
The first match broke partially as a result of your striking method. There are videos on here of the proper way to strike a match to reduce your chance of snapping it. Take care man and thanks for the review!
Your definitely not wrong about that 😂
Appreciate you checking out the video.
When your cold and wet tell me how that works for you only one match between you and certain demise
The cotton at the top is for "tinder" to light on fire in emergency outdoor situations.@@PNWoutdoorReviews
Okay this is awesome! Honest reviews before I go buy all these things! score! Thank you!
Appreciate you checking out my channel. Happy to support my RUclips family
These are not budget or lower quality survival matches like some comments suggest. UCO are the most respected brand there is. Also, who submerges a match in water and doesn't shake or wipe it off before lighting? Not a fair test. The water will prevent the chemical reaction from starting in the first place because water will ruin the phosphorus striking strip. Also, the match broke because you have poor technique. Put your finger on the tip as you draw it across the striker. You won't burn yourself and the match will never break.
Hey I respect your honest feedback and yeah I definitely wasn't holding them correctly. Yes I did review these kind of unfairly because I previously reviewed the Zippo stormproof matches which are the best I've ever tried. UCO does make great products and I would recommend them to anyone. Appreciate you checking out the video and again I do appreciate the feedback cause I can't improve without it.
@@PNWoutdoorReviews That was the fastest response I've ever received. Kudos.
I have the UCO matches as well and I'm got them in my camping gear for emergencys. I haven't tried them yet so thanks for the review.
Thank you for checking out the video, happy you enjoyed the review
Good review. I'm impressed with the underwater test that it passed!
Thank you. I was very surprised myself with how well they did under water
I’m not impressed with the container.
Wally World had some on the shelves. I’ve observed them at different stores.
The container has casting marks in the area of the seal. That leads me to believe it won’t continue to be waterproof after a few cycles, if ever at all.
Some the seals were already messed up, so they would surely leak.
I purchased the boxed version. Just put them in a ziplock bag. Haven’t tried them yet.
I have been experimenting with the Pine Mountain matches. (Might be made at the same place? I dunno 🤷♂️)
Soaking for a couple hours, it just fell apart.
Did manage to light it with another match, so not completely useless.
Soaked another for several hours. Plan to try it after it has a chance to dry.
We’ll see 🤔
So far the best container for storm matches has been from Zippo. Little extra money compared to most brands but both the matches and container have been bulletproof. I completely agree with you and would prefer to store the matches in a container I know will keep water out. I'll have to check out those Pine Mountain matches and compare those to what I got.
Truly appreciate you checking out the review and for the support.
Incredible matches and a fantastic review! Best channel on RUclips!
Great video bro. I was literally just looking at some survival matches to go in a kit.
Great review I definitely like the bigger ones as a sure fire way to almost make sure you start a fire
Thank you. I agree. I personally always travel with the Zippo typhoon's
My pack just arrived yesterday. They are definitely IMPOSSIBLE to put out! The obly negative, is the smell is terrible
great video! but is the matches dangerous for your health i saw a warning on the box when they arrived?
Thank you! They are only "dangerous" if you breathe in the fumes when first igniting the match like with any other matches.
The cotton can also be used as tinder if you're in a difficult situation
It’s kindle not tinder, tinder is like shaved wood
@@user-DarkXY I wasn't aware of the term thanks
Great video. We never even knew matches like this existed 😁👍
Thank you. They are nice to have as a "just in case"
I have these matches as well. Great review man.
Thank you! Appreciate you checking out the review
I have some of these to try out. Bought some super generic ones off Wish and they were about as good as i expected lol
I'm anxious to try more brands that make the Stormproof matches just to really see which ones can hold up to the elements.
When they get old or moist they don’t work at all this is not survival gear get a magnesium fire starter or a good zippo
I'm usually really hard on matches so this cheaper version probably wouldn't work for me.
I'm the same way 😅 It's why I still prefer the Zippo typhoon's
*only
Great job buddy on the review well done my friend 👍
Thank you! Appreciate you my friend
Nice review as always they make a good back up
Thank you. These will be used as a backup for sure because they did actually pass the water test.
great talking man, big difference from our matches here..
its time to improve your image quality
I agree. I'm saving up for a new camera but those aren't exactly cheap so hopefully by this summer. I apologise for the video and sound quality.
@@PNWoutdoorReviews its ok, i recommend eos r. Im filming with that as well. Btw you can check out my RUclips Channel:

I bought those same economic matches and experienced the same thing.
Good test
Thank you
